Why Geopolitical Shocks Just Snapped the S&P 500's Winning Streak

The Wednesday session closed Red. Here is why: Escalating military tensions in the Middle East sent Brent crude spiking near $98 a barrel, instantly reigniting inflation fears and pushing Treasury yields up to 4.49%. This geopolitical shock snapped the S&P 500's historic nine-day winning streak. **The Scoreboard:** 🚀 Sector Winner: Energy surged 1.4% on the back of the commodity spike. 📉 Sector Loser: Technology & Communications tumbled 1.4% with Nvidia and Microsoft dropping over 3%. **The Look Ahead:** The #1 thing to watch tomorrow is whether the S&P 500 can hold the key 7,550 support level to avoid dealer-driven selling, alongside the fallout from Broadcom and Crowdstrike after-hours earnings.
